Former Indomitable Lion and Chelsea footballer Geremi Njitab has filed a divorce from his wife of 12 years after DNA tests showed his two children were fathered by his wife’s ex.
Midfielder Geremi, 45, said the couple’s twins were born after wife Laure had a fling according to court documents in Cameroon. She “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage “through her abject behaviour”.
The documents also mention her repeated lies and that “no children have been born from this union.’’
She claimed the twins born in June 2008, four years before the couple’s marriage were his, which motivated them to get married.
“But the discovery that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony. “It caused him a huge emotional shock” claiming his wife psychologically damaged him.
The Cameroonian ace midfielder made 109 Chelsea appearances between 2003 and 2007, scoring four goals.
Geremi also played for Real Madrid between 1999 and 2003 winning La Liga and the Champions League twice.
Geremi also previously played for Newcastle.
